Post by: Pett on August 24, 2009, 03:46:17 PM
Talked to a VERY good source (A+). Devon is now @ a JUCO in Texas.

so, if we had our old Eagle/Star beat reporter, I'd ask him to call Frank Williams to confirm that he's got a KSU offer now.  Austin, if you're reading this, chop, chop.  Also, that Cole guy from the Merc please do this as well.  Thanks.

your friend,

Yeah. This is a 100% legit source. He's not here. Truly sucks. Thought he could really surprise a lot of opponents because he has been flying a bit below the radar...

There goes that amazing ESPN rating too... :-[

&@#% my own mother.  First we get stuck with Kellis and now this.  Why are we being punished?


That being said the espn rating was kind of ridiculous since he did not play last year and they had nothing to base it on.

Gonna go out on a limb and say they based it on his high school and juco (Broward) play.  That ranking came out in Nov. of 2008, so they would have had little to base anyone's rankings on at that point, whether they were playing that season or not.

But he was not rated nearly as high out of high school.   :confused:

He wasn't rated that high anywhere else either.  Apparently, someone at ESPN saw something at Broward (that no one else saw) that impressed the hell out of them.  Can't really think of any other plausible situations.

I dont' really think we need him. We will be fine without him.

Seems like we might be okay at the G positions for a few years, but I sure would like to have an actual big man in the middle.  I imagine Frank probably knew quite awhile ago the D Ptete wouldn't be here this year.  Certainly makes the whole schollie debate of 2009 look pretty silly in hindsight.

Yeah, I know, big surprise right? I just wanted to confirm it...

So without DP on the team, we have two more scholies for next season, correct?

I think we have three on our radar right now. T. Mitchell, F. Williams, & T. Releford.

I want Releford & of course, Mitchell. Hopefully we can knab these two. :hope:

I only count 9 dudes on scholarship next year, leaving us 4, right?  One for Spradling,  one for Asprilla (?), and two others, right?

don't think ksu is recruiting releford.

don't think ksu is recruiting releford.

Think we are recruiting him for football.  He's not nearly the football prospect though.

:banghead:

Kid looks like a player...

And it looks like because Isiah is a huge doucher that Aspirilla has to go the JUCO route first.

Then, yes, next season.....Aspirilla, Williams, Mitchell, & Spradling?

Does anyone think Spradling might redshirt?

:hope:

He needs a year to get stronger. Definitely looks like that could be his #1 option...

Someone on some other board said that he wanted to play football

Play both, or just play football?  I guess we don't really play too many meaningful b-ball games until the second semester anyway, so that might be an option.  Plus, gotta love a 4* on the b-ball roster not even using up a schollie.  That'll free up one for the next Chris "Energy" Merriwether, right?

wtf.  We have a McDonalds and Jordan All American with a pair of top 150's to match him, a seven footer, and Martavious, probably the Sunbelt FOTY next year as well.  Man I wish we would learn the recruiting game.   :rolleyes:

Devon redshirted this past season at Cloud.

I'm not 100% sure that the juco in Texas is his for sure destination, yet.

Should know soon.

nah bro you misunderstood me, or i wasn't clear.  i'm talking about players who are qualifying risks...how come we aren't doing the lowbrow things our sister school does to get those type of players in (rush, arthur, ect)

We have and would for certain caliber players.  If we had a Rush or Arthur who wanted to come here, we would get them here.  But it is a little bit more difficult with a juco transfer who only went to a juco because he didn't qualify.  You fake his transcripts and he magically does better people start looking.  With Arthur they started cooking the books back in high school and no one really got a pulse on it until he was gone.  This kid had a year with no distractions to get himself here and he couldn't, probably hard to hide that.  Sucks but what are you going to do?

nothing i guess except identify em as early as possible so as to get started.  really shows how much of a trainwreck latwill was, no one could figure out how to qualify him.
